Avista warns of potential power shutoff
Due to forecasted high-fire-risk conditions throughout the Inland Northwest, some Avista customers could experience a Public Safety Power Shutoff on Saturday.
"At this time, no power shutoff has been implemented. However, customers should prepare for the possibility of an outage if weather conditions worsen as expected," a press release said Thursday. "If power is shut off at your location to reduce the risk of wildfire, Avista will not turn it back on until the risk has passed and conditions are safe to do so. Before power can be restored, crews must inspect affected power lines and equipment to ensure it is safe to re-energize them."
